Document Summary

Multiple sensory inputs have colours associated with them. Believed to be born this way --- but most ppl sort it out as we grow up. Women have it more than men, left handers more than right handers --- runs in the family. Cell shows max firing to a spot of light ask a particular area on the screen. A slit of light decreases the firing rate. Answer: from a retinal ganglion cell b/c is a slit of light. Binocular versus monocular cues (two eyes vs one eye) 3d glasses work by creating a false retinal disparity. Monocular cues ---- use more often o o o. Conclude that larger targets are closer to us. The whole image is assumed to be closer. Texture of further thing are more densely packed. Targets haven"t changed size although the retina image may change. Re-scale the size of objects so that they remain constant at any distance.
